Zusammenfassung
Introduction: In this study, we investigated a group of stuttering adults and compared them to a control group. In a previous study, we demonstrated, that this task activates areas, relevant for phonological and semantical processing (Specht 2003), comprising the left superior temporal sulcus (STS) and planum temporale (PT). Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that stuttering involves multiple neural components showing either functional or structural differences. Therefore, we combined the fMRI study with a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) study to test also for differences in grey-matter density. Methods…
